Repair Procedure

1. Lower window all the way down on affected door.

2. Remove C-pillar flag cover.





3. Place a piece of duct tape over the rear section of the belt molding weatherstrip to protect it (Figure 1).

4. Hold door trim panel in position (push down along top edge) so the inner and outer weatherstrips are aligned.

5. With an awl puncture the inner belt weatherstrip or drill a 1/8" pilot hole to mark the location on the sheet metal inner panel (Figure 1). The mark/hole should be approximately 35 mm (1-3/8 in.) from the rear of the panel to avoid the locating hole already in the sheet metal inner.

6. Cut away any portion of the black foam strip wrapped around the inner belt weatherstrip interfering with the awl hole. This is to allow the screw to be visible for future repairs. **Install screw, p/n 06032723, on Dodge vehicles and other models if there is already anti-squeak tape on sheet metal. For vehicles without anti-squeak tape proceed to step 7.**





7. Mark the outline of the rear vinyl wrapped edge of trim panel on the sheet metal using a grease pencil (Figure 2).

8. Remove door trim panel.





9. If not completed in Step 5, drill a 1/8" pilot hole through the sheet metal inner panel at the location marked in Step 5 (Figure 3).

10. Replace the (2) white clips at the rear of the trim panel with p/n 06504014 **('98-'00 Model Years).**

11. Replace the (1) green clip at the front of the trim panel with p/n 06503204 **('98-'00 Model Years).**

13. Install the door trim panel making sure all (3) clips are engaged, you should hear a snap as each engages.

14. Make sure the inner and outer belt weatherstrips are properly aligned. Install a door trim panel screw, p/n 06032723, through the hole made in the inner belt weatherstrip into the pilot hole in the sheet metal.





15. Using a sharp utility knife cut the flocking tape along the edge of the door trim panel (Figure 5). Care must be used not to cut too deep into the metal and not cutting the vinyl on the panel.
